Is it wise to spend PhP 6K for a make money online seminar?
Pinoyblogero has blogged about his and other bloggers’ opinions about the 6,000 peso make money online seminar. Here are my reasons why I too will not attend a seminar that charges that amount to teach people how to earn money online:
I have free and better alternatives to paying 6000 to learn how to make money online. Attending bloggers fellowships like the Mindanao blogger summit is one of the best and guaranteed ways to learn how to make money online. I got a list of some online jobs during the October MBS1. I also met bloggers who gave me inputs on how I can monetize my websites. I do not only get inputs from people who really earn online, I also get to meet new friends.
Why pay when I can google for ways to make money online? In fact, I have an online jobs blog where I have compiled a list of online jobs and ways on making money online that I have found in other sites and forums.
The organizers of the seminar may have good intentions but PhP 6,000 for a make money online seminar tackling adsense, affiliate marketing and paid blog reviews is just too expensive. It is like buying a 6,000 peso book that I have the option to borrow from my friends.I believe that this particular seminar is targeted for those who are not yet familiar with the online economy but I hope that before people register to attend this seminar, they will realize that what will be presented in the seminar may be already available online. They just need the patience to find ways how they can make money online. They also need some logical thinking to understand that not everyone who embarks in earning online will be as financially successful as Abe Olandres and yeah, the self proclaimed dot com mogul. Of course, they also need to have some common sense to avoid getting ripped off by scammers that lurk in the world wide web.

What to do to expedite the processing of pending paypal withdrawals
Update February 13: The pending transaction is already marked completed. I hope the funds will be reflected in the debit card soon.
Update February 18: Already got the money. Ubos na ang pera hehehehe…
It has been weeks and the paypal withdrawals that were initiated in between the period January 24 to January 28 are still pending. Our succeeding withdrawal after the pending withdraw transaction has been successful but there seems to be no development in the pending withdraw transaction made on January 24. (Despite that paypal has already acknowledged the issue on February 5 and hoped to resolve the issue in 72 hours.).
I invite the following bloggers to share their opinion on what can we do so paypal will make haste in doing something about the pending paypal withdrawals.
Lady
Jerome Lacson
Laarnaay
Aggie
and the bloggers of
anti niche
technroll
mushiemoshiu
These people, I believe, are similarly having problems with their paypal withdrawals. You can write a blog post or leave a comment here. Please leave your entry’s link as comment so I can update this post to include links to your opinions.

Successfully transferred paypal funds to bank account
Our January 24 paypal withdrawal is still pending up to now. Nevertheless, hubby has successfully transferred his paypal funds to his banco de oro account. We actually withdrew the money this morning.
There are several things I have noticed with this particular paypal to bank account transaction though:
1. The withdrawal transaction takes some time to be marked completed. I actually thought our second withdrawal will have the same paypal pending withdrawal problems. Nevertheless, we were able to withdraw the money less than a week after we initiated the transaction.
2. The peso-dollar exchange rate is not competitive. 1 U.S. Dollar in our transaction was converted to 39.5265 Peso. I do not have the data but I believe that the US dollar at that time was some cents more than 40 pesos.
I was not able to check our remaining balance before the paypal funds arrived but I would like to request those who plan to make withdrawal via bank to check their balance because there seems to be a discrepancy between the amount that was transferred to our bank account and the amount that is reflected in the paypal dashboard.Hubby and I will try to verify too because we might have made some withdrawals that we have forgotten.
